DEXTA has released records through Bim Bam Records, Universal Music, Bonnier Music, Playground Music/edel & Sony Music earning much appreciated reviews at both MWMC (Miami Winter Music Conference) and IBIZA by Boris D'lugosh who had the Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) project in high rotation. 2003 also saw DEXTA teaming up with P.A.W and Lars G. bringing harder edged house remixes to the big house act FILUR with the track called U & I, heavily supported by MAC C of the New York based "Low End Specialists" earning great club success in both Los Angeles, San Francisco & New York. For 2005 DEXTA teamed up with Jesper Frydenlund, a danish producer, dj & visual magician. Their first collaboration together, "Live From Gadget Central pt.1", is already earning respect and is currently being remixed by handpicked producers.

DEXTA's musical style is prime house with a capital H, but also every other form - up & down - join forces through a typical DEXTA DJ set (the longer the better..). One of DEXTAs trademarks is doing special edits of his tracks that will take the musical experience to a higher level. Be prepared for a high energy set on either Vinyl, CD or Final Scratch.
